It depends on what you hike on. Hard pack in the ADK's they will work fine. Not make for deep unpacked snow.

I am 6'3" 205 lbs and have used them in the ADK's. If you are looking to go in deep flat snow these are not the ones you want even with the tails. These are perfect for mountaineering, the Lightnings are perfect for flat snow. Hope this helps.

I'm smaller and lighter, but with the add ons, you might just find these are just fine. Why don't you check out a pair in store (REI or whatever is close) then you may feel better about purchase. Of course, Amazon will take them back if you decide to return before you use them.

If you don't mind sinking into the snow a little it should be fine and you can buy the snap-on additions, which are really hard to get on and off, and they seem to help. I think so much depends on the conditions you will be trekking in ... really light powder these are not the best choice but in the north east where the snow is often deep but heavier and sometimes crusty these are awesome and any kind of hard-pak or ice these are the absolute best ... I absolutely love mine! Have fun -

I am 5'7 and it was very long on me. If I were your height I would probably go a little shorter. But, you can always cut it.

My husband is 6'2" and doesn't have a problem, but if I were you I would try to find one on display somewhere and check it out before buying it.

For a short person, a 7" will be fine. A taller person ie: ht= 5'4" and over wld. need a 9". You can experiment. Get a box and trim it to the height of 9" to see if it feels OK. If you think it's kind of high, trim it down to 7". If I were you , I wld. sit down on the commode and put the box so you can check and see. It won't be a perfect measurement but somehow, it will give you an idea. You will also have to consider the height of your commode.Vick

I'm 6' 2" tall and I bought a 7" and a 9". The 7" works fine for me and the 9'' is too high for me. I'm willing to exchange or sell my 9" for $25.00 if you're interested.

I think it will short . My 15 ft had little to spare . You could try an 18 ft if available and trim off the excess . Just an idea

22.5" is probably on the short side. It's a soft pack, so it's difficult to get a true measurement. It's closer to 24" than 22.5". M/C? Motorcycle?

Mine is 22 inches. If you are short, be sure to get a seat that adjusts so your feet will touch the ground.

I'm not sure on that, but I'm just 5'2" and I have not had any problems getting it the correct height. I just finished using this for the 2nd time for that last 6 weeks and I will say that it is so much better then cruches.

For sure it will be stong enough and should go short enough - has plenty of height adjustments, but it might be close for a height of 5'1"with proper adjustment (floor to wrist on straight hanging arm usually recommended). I'm 5'8" and 180 lbs. and I can go 3-4" lower. Will take all typical accessories (wheels, tips, etc.) as well.

I am 6'3" and my wife is 5'9" and we both have the 20". Her seat is about two inches above the frame. I would guess 5'7" is the cut-off, and anyone shorter should probably go for the 18" bike. Since the frame angles down, there is no problem for any height standing over the bike. I hope this helps.

I would get the 126" length, and you would have a 15" drop on either side. If you get the smaller one (102) - it would be too short.I am not a professional, just my opinion.

no, you're about 4 inches short to be perfect. could make it work at 60 inches.

I have it at 56".......4'8"......I am 5'4..... So it's easy for me to work with.
